Remembering Russert

NBC's Williams, on tonight's historic election: "In short, it's a night Tim Russert would have loved. We'll cover it here in his spirit tonight."

"I feel like Tom Brokaw up on the Berlin wall in 1989" -- Luke Russert, attempting to report amid wildly cheering voters at Indiana University (NBC).

Williams later showed a whiteboard from Election '00 signed by Tim Russert, reading: "Florida, Florida, Florida!" He also promised a special tribute to Russert later tonight.
